The organization and coordination of fish schools provide a valuable model to investigate the genetic architecture of affiliative behaviours and dissect the mechanisms underlying social behaviours and personalities. Here we used replicate guppy selection lines that vary in schooling propensity and combine quantitative genetics with genomic and transcriptomic analyses to investigate the genetic bas

BackgroundThe optimal ways of using aromatase inhibitors or tamoxifen as endocrine treatment for early breast cancer remains uncertain.MethodsWe undertook meta-analyses of individual data on 31 920 postmenopausal women with oestrogen-receptor-positive early breast cancer in the randomised trials of 5 years of aromatase inhibitor versus 5 years of tamoxifen; of 5 years of aromatase inhibitor versus

Research centers represent a specific organizational format for linking the traditional university organization with external actors, goals, and processes in time-limited, concentrated efforts of research and collaboration. Yet, the center format contains large variations, and centers act as interfaces between university organizations, societal actors, and research funders in multifaceted ways. In

Titanium alloys display anisotropic deformation properties due to the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) crystal structure of the α-phase. When subjected to localised deformation during machining, this behaviour influences fluctuations in the cutting force response of the material as the tool encounters grains of different orientations. In this research, cutting force signals acquired during face turnin

The self-employed and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) account for the greatest share of employment and make up the largest number of economic units worldwide. However, some countries exclude these economic units from certain obligations under their national labour laws in the belief that such obligations may impair enterprise growth and prosperity. This study considers the ways i

The Swedish far-right party, the Sweden Democrats (SD), came to power in 2022 and is currently the second-largest party in the Swedish Parliament, the Riksdag. While it has been propagandizing an anti-migrant discourse, another newly founded party has been producing a counter-discourse. The newly created Nyans party claims to represent migrants and minorities in Sweden. However, its discourse uses

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected not only somatic health with over 3.7 million deaths worldwide, but also has had a huge impact on psychological health, creating what amounts to a mental health crisis. The negative effect of the pandemic on traditional addictions is well described and concerning, and the same has been seen for gambling. Objective: This study explores self-reported we

Microfluidics has emerged as an essential approach in the development of novel technological platforms to detect and isolate rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood of cancer patients. Micro-scaled fluidic systems offer means to precisely control fluid flow. This enables cell separation when combined with techniques for manipulating cells across fluid streams. Various microfluidic methods

In this study, large eddy simulations, coupled a two-equation soot model, are performed to investigate the effects of ambient carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) additions on the soot formation and oxidation processes in an n-dodecane spray flame. In the soot model, acetylene (C2H2) is soot precursor and surface growth species, while hydroxyl radical (OH) and oxygen (O2) are soot oxidizers. The e

Individuals are expected to avoid mating with relatives as inbreeding can reduce offspring fitness, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. This has led to the widespread assumption that selection will favour individuals that avoid mating with relatives. However, the strength of inbreeding avoidance is variable across species and there are numerous cases where related mates are not avoided. H

Due to their wide utilization and low thermodynamic efficiency, there is a large interest in designing more efficient high-pressure homogenizer valves. Drop breakup in these devices is by turbulent interaction downstream of the gap exit. However, recent investigations in scaled systems suggest that the drops can be ‘primed’ for breakup by elongation upstream of the gap entrance. This study uses hy

The objective of this study was to investigate B-lymphocyte reconstitution in patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after myeloablative conditioning (MAC) or reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens. B-lymphocyte reconstitution was studied by monitoring the CDR3 repertoire with spectratyping. We demonstrate a delay in the recovery of the B-lymphocyte r

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen innehåller fyra uppsatser som på ett eller annat sätt relaterar till befolkningsströmningar såsom dess ekonomiska konsekvenser och orsaker. I den första uppsatsen används en hushållsundersökning från Kina för att undersöka huruvida utbildning bidrar till att höja inkomsterna hos hushåll i jordbrukssektorn. Genom regressionsanalys uppmäts korrelatioAbstract Population movements are more substantial today than at any other point in human history. If managed effectively, migration can be beneficial for all aspects of social and economic life. This thesis contains four papers, all of which are related to the economic consequences and determinants of migration, within and across countries. The first paper employs a household survey to explor

Företagshemlig information står för stora värden inom bolag - ett rättsligt skydd av sådan information är centralt för att främja företags möjligheter att investera i innovation och konkurrera på marknaden. Mot bakgrund av angelägna skillnader i medlemsstaternas lagstiftning beträffande skydd för företagshemligheter antog EU-parlamentet 2016 ett direktiv. Sverige hade sedan 1990 en lag på området Trade secrets represent great values for companies and the legal protection of such information is central in promoting companies' opportunities to invest in innovation and fair competition in the market. In order to resolve a significant legal difference in the protection of trade secrets amongst the States of the European Union, the European Parliament adopted an EU directive in 2016 on the
